We went to the plot to pick, you've guessed it, sprouts and carrots :-) This carrot weighed 333g - that's what Autumn King carrots are all about! (Not kilograms as I originally recorded!!)
We spotted a hoverfly in the sprout netting. I didn't realise they'd be around at this time of year, but apparently so. Not much for him to feed on at the moment, but he must have found something to get pollen from...
Also spotted our little rodent - but it's a vole, not a mouse. He ran between the compost bin and under a wooden trough.
New life is already sprouting - the chives have got plenty of re-growth, and though the chard looks pretty awful there are signs of new leaves. The mint has gone a bit mad - growing round and round the pot and shot off under the paving slab - needs a bit of work next year...
Nice Carrot, Happy New Year to you & Jamie.
